So the best approach is this: first, we'll switch the folder types: send the Root Folder as 8, and the Suitcase as 9. Once the viewer devs have added support for Folder Type 100, and enough time has passed that most users have such viewers, we'll change the folder type of the Suitcase to 100, and the viewer devs will remove the hacks that they currently use for OpenSim.
On reviewing the viewer source further, it would probably be ok just to change Suitcase’s folder type to 100 at any time. Using 100 as the folder type is just as invalid as using 9 is to the viewer. Neither are defined currently, and when people switch to compatible viewers, they’d pick up the correct type immediately. I have just tested this change locally with current versions of both Firestorm and Singularity but it would be wise for other folks to do some testing too just in case.
